yarn add better-custom-error
or npm i better-custom-error --save
import createError from "better-custom-error";

const MyError = createError("MyError");
const AnotherError = createError("AnotherError", MyError); // it extends `Error` by default, but you can pass another error
const YetAnotherError = createError("YetAnotherError", Error, options);
For options
